Included
Hostel dorm room accommodation
Staying in hostels along the Camino de Santiago is a distinctive experience, shaped by the unique nature of this ancient pilgrimage route. Along the Camino, hostels are commonly referred to as albergues. These are specifically designed to accommodate pilgrims on their journey. Staying in albergues offers a chance to connect with people who share a common goal of completing the pilgrimage, creating a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
Much like traditional hostels, albergues often provide dormitory-style accommodations with bunk beds. Pilgrims share sleeping quarters, and the atmosphere is generally communal, fostering an environment of sharing experiences and advice. Given the spiritual nature of the Camino de Santiago, many albergues reflect this atmosphere. Some are attached to churches or monasteries, and communal activities such as communal meals, pilgrim blessings, or group reflections might be offered.
